Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 492: Maodun dies and the Huns are destroyed (Happy New Year!!!)

After the rain of arrows fell from the sky, the charging Hun cavalry suddenly suffered numerous casualties. Some people who stopped their horses due to fear were also directly knocked away by the cavalry from behind. Suddenly, the galloping Hun cavalry army suddenly appeared in a continuous collision. Something happened, and the neat formation suddenly fell into chaos.

Li Mu's mouth twitched as he looked at the chaotic Huns formation.

"The Huns have already figured out how to break our Great Qin's arrow array." Li Mu looked ahead and shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Li Xin scratched his head and asked. The Huns cavalry suffered heavy casualties under the Qin arrow formation. How can they say that they have a way to break the Qin arrow formation?

"The greatest advantage of the Great Qin Arrow Array is that it can cover long distances and consume the enemy's vitality. But do you think how many Xiongnu people died under the arrow array this time?" Li Mu pointed forward and said.

Li Xin looked over and found that because someone inside the Hun cavalry reined in their horses, the cavalry in the rear collided directly with each other. Therefore, except for a small number of people who entered the arrow array and were shot, the others died in the collision and collision. Being trampled by horses.

Therefore, not being shot by the Great Qin Arrow Array was equivalent to breaking the Great Qin Arrow Array. In a sense, Li Mu's idea was right, but it just wasn't right.

"I didn't expect you to have such a side." Li Xin said with a smile.

"Yes, in a normal battle with the Xiongnu, even if all the Wuling cavalry were by my side, I would still be nervous. But relying on the current Qin army to fight the Xiongnu, and letting Ziyou, a Confucian disciple who does not understand the art of war, take command, It can defeat the opponent." Li Mu said.

"If sir knew that you praised him so much, he might be embarrassed." Li Xin also became angry.

The Xiongnu's current situation is no longer a concern. The army was in chaos during the charge, and it was still the cavalry. Such casualties were enough to cause one-tenth of the people to die in the trampling.

Compared to Qin Jun's relaxed side, Mao Dun's face was livid at this time.

Before the direct confrontation with the Qin army, his own troops had suffered numerous casualties due to collisions and trampling, which made Mao Dun angry and powerless.

"Da Shanyu, let's withdraw our troops. If this continues, all our sons will die in the battle with the Qin army. Let's retreat to the grassland to preserve our strength and come back for revenge in the future." Hu Yangnan looked at the army with heavy casualties and was heartbroken. There was blood. In order to support Maodun, all the troops under Hu Yangnan acted as forwards.

"Do you think the Qin army will let us go this time?" Modu said with a livid face.

"Could they still be able to invade the grassland?" Hu Yangnan asked doubtfully.

Hu Yang's rare question also attracted the attention of other tribal leaders. They have been fighting with the Central Plains for so many years, especially in the past ten years. Although they cannot be said to have been defeated in many battles, they can be regarded as almost annihilating the country. But the reason why Instead of destroying the country, I have been thinking about going south to invade the Central Plains because I know that the people of the Central Plains will not go deep into the grasslands to attack their tribes, and even if they attack, they will not occupy their tribes. Therefore, no matter how badly they are defeated every time, they are still more than ten people away. Years are enough time to raise an army again.

Looking at these tribal leaders who still had the idea of ​​​​running away if they couldn't fight, or running away and coming back again, Mao Dun felt extremely angry in his heart, but the war at this time still needs these people.

Mao Dun suppressed the anger in his heart and said

"This time the Qin State is willing to fight this war at all costs. Do you really think that their purpose is to expel us? Wrong, it is absolutely wrong. The Qin State is gambling with us on the fate of the country. Their purpose The only one is to completely solve our danger to the Central Plains. Qin will not occupy our grasslands, but He Yangli and Abatu will!

They will help Qin to rule us. When Qin regains its national power, they will build cities on our grasslands, destroy our writing, deprive us of our beliefs, and make us completely a part of Qin. And our warriors will become slaves of Qin! If you don't want yourself and your descendants to become slaves, then put your own troops on the line and prepare for a decisive battle with the Qin army! "

Looking at the angry Maodun, many leaders were extremely shocked by what he said. The law of the jungle was clearly reflected in the Xiongnu. These tribal leaders knew very well what would happen to the defeated tribes, so the originally alienated Xiongnu army faced Faced with the strong sense of crisis caused by the Qin State, they put aside their thoughts and temporarily united.

"Let the army continue to advance. The vanguard troops can no longer retreat, and the Qin army has launched an attack. Let our flanks launch a charge. This is not a city, and the Qin army's archers can only shoot one round." Mao Dun said.

Hu Yangnan looked at Mao Dun with complicated eyes. Mao Dun's order obviously regarded the vanguard troops as cannon fodder, and planned to use the lives of these people to form a line of defense to delay the Qin army's frontal charge, so that the flanking armies could outflank the Qin army. . This arrangement was tactically reasonable, but it was unacceptable to Hu Yangnan, because the elites of the Hu Yang tribe were among this vanguard force.

"Don't be sad, Hu Yangnan. As long as we successfully block the Qin army, win or draw, or even lose too badly, we Xiongnu will still have a chance to survive. At that time, I will start from my royal court Half of the Imperial Guard will be divided and handed over to you for you to command." Mao Dun comforted his most loyal confidant.

Hearing that Mao Dun planned to use half of the Royal Guards to make up for himself, Hu Yang could not help but feel sad. Faced with such a windfall, he had to take it.

"I will let my remaining men continue to charge!" Hu Yangnan said.

Seeing Hu Yangnan mobilize his remaining troops to continue the attack, other tribal leaders also began to mobilize their tribes.

In the middle of the Qin army, Li Mu looked at the movements of the Xiongnu army and said

"This Maodun has something of itself. He abandoned his vanguard so decisively, delaying our attack from them and allowing the flank to attack."

"In the face of true strength, any of their plots and tricks are useless. Lord Wu An, let the catapult go." Li Xin said with a twinkle in his eye.

"Well, get ready to throw the catapult!" Li Mu said, waving the flag.

Dozens of catapults were rolled out, and after the earth mines were installed, dozens of earth mines were thrown into the Huns' vanguard troops.

The charging Huns were confused when they saw the jars being thrown at them. They didn't know why the Qin army did not throw stones but instead threw these jars. But as the earth mines fell to the ground, they knew why the Qin army threw these jars.

Dozens of earth mines exploded among the Hun cavalry, and a huge explosion sounded. The unprepared Hun horses were frightened and became irritable and restless. Some people were even knocked off their horses.

The leaders of the Xiongnu tribe, who had just been preparing to fight the Qin army at all costs, looked at the cavalrymen who were blown to pieces in the middle of the battlefield and were stunned in place without saying a word. Modun's eyes widened and he pointed at the center of the battlefield. He wanted to say something but couldn't.

In the Huns' army where iron weapons were not widely available, Li Mu used gunpowder to blow them up. That's like a father beating his son. As long as he couldn't be beaten to death, he would beat him to death!

Without waiting for any reaction from the Xiongnu side, another round of projections was fired, and the charging vanguard was immediately blown to pieces. There were not many people left alive standing in the center of the battlefield.

"Order, charge!" Li Mu gave the order to charge.

Having been prepared for a long time, Wuling Iron Cavalry, Golden Fire Cavalry, Yue Cavalry and Hu Cavalry suddenly rushed towards the Huns' central army.

Li Mu looked at the Xiongnu vanguard, whose charge of tens of thousands of people was destroyed by two rounds of missiles, and became even more convinced that gunpowder was definitely the best weapon to restrain the cavalry charge.

Tubaan, who was always in the rear, had a clear view of everything that happened on the battlefield. Seeing the Huns cavalry who were blown to pieces, Tubaan became more and more sure that his choice was right, and he was in awe of Qin. The heart is heavier. "Chanyu, the Qin army has launched an attack!"

Tubaan nodded and tied the black cloth strip on his left arm. Tubaan, who admired the culture of the Central Plains, knew very well that this kind of internal and external cooperation was to protect Zuo Dan, but on the battlefield, They could only tie them with black strips of cloth.

The cavalrymen who had been prepared long ago raised the black black bird flag.

Tubaan drew his sword and pointed it forward.

"charge!"

At Tubaan's order, the cavalry of the Tuba tribe rushed towards Moton's central army. The Xiongnu tribe, which belonged to the rear army like the Tuba tribe, was stunned when they saw this scene. Some tribal leaders saw what Tubaan's purpose was. Just as they were about to leave, they were stopped by the tribesmen who also belonged to Tubaan. Take control and prevent them from moving.

At this time, Mao Dun was trying his best to mobilize his troops to resist the Qin army. Suddenly he heard the sound of killing behind him. Mao Dun looked back blankly, only to see Tubaan's cavalry holding the black black bird flag towards him. came from behind.

No matter how stupid Maodun was, he understood at this time that Tubaan had rebelled.

"Tubaan!" Moton pointed at Tubaan and yelled angrily.

The guards on the side saw that their side was already surrounded and shouted to Mao Dun.

"Da Shanyu, let's withdraw. It's too late if we don't leave."

"Damn Tuba'an!" Mao Dun yelled angrily.

The guard on the side wanted to step forward and pull Moton, but Moton threw his hand away.

"I have no way out!" Mao Dun pulled out his saber and said.

Mao Dun looked at the defeated army in front of him and listened to the sound of killing behind him. At this time, Mao Dun felt that there was no life left in his heart. Mao Dun knew his fate very well. He would either die on the battlefield, return to the court of the Huns and be placed under house arrest by Gongyang Ling and Wei Zhuang, or be directly and secretly killed.

"I am the Great Chanyu of the Xiongnu and the king of the grassland. I can only die in battle, not in sorrow." Modun said coldly, "You are all my personal guards and the most loyal people I have selected. Now I I lost, I lost to the Qin army, but I don’t want to run away, are you willing to follow my thundering arrows and charge again!”

The guards looked at Mao Dun, drew their weapons and shouted

"We do!"

"Okay, charge with me!" Mao Dun pulled out his thunderous arrow and shot it in the direction of the Qin army.

The personal guards also opened their bows and shot arrows, and then Mao Dun rushed towards the Qin army with weapons in hand and his personal guards.

Other tribal leaders saw Mao Dun launching a charge with his personal guards. Such behavior moved some tribal leaders, and they also rushed forward, but more people wanted to leave the battlefield and take their remaining survivors with them. The soldiers returned to the tribe.

Li Mu looked at Mao Dun who was charging towards them and nodded to the eagle shooter beside him. The eagle shooter nodded, drew his bow, and aimed an arrow at Mao Dun.

At this time, Mao Dun chopped down a Qin Army cavalry with his sword. As soon as he turned around, he saw a sharp arrow shooting towards him. Mao Dun had no time to dodge and was hit in the chest by the sharp arrow and fell off his horse.

"Maodun is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!" Li Xin suddenly shouted.

The Qin army immediately began to retell the story. The Huns soldiers who were still resisting heard that their great Chanyu was dead and put down their weapons one after another. The battle continued until dusk and gradually ended.

The surrendered troops of the Xiongnu began to be collected by the Qin army, and a large amount of supplies and seizures began to be counted. The cleaning work of the entire battlefield lasted for two days. In these two days, General Li Mu wrote the report and sent it back to Xianyang, and began to prepare. Bingfa grassland.

Li Mu was already very familiar with the grassland, and this time he had Tuba'an as his guide. Li Mu led 60,000 cavalry on the grassland, and when they encountered the Xiongnu tribe, they directly pushed them past. Every time he defeated a Xiongnu tribe, after Li Mu killed the Xiongnu nobles, he collected the Xiongnu slaves and civilians and led them towards the Xiongnu royal court.

The Huns civilians and slaves who had been oppressed for a long time, after knowing that they had the opportunity to become the new Huns aristocrats, became extremely brave and took the lead in every battle. Soon the entire Huns fell to half of them.

After Wei Zhuang and Gongyang Ling in the Xiongnu Royal Court received the news that Li Mu was galloping on the grassland, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They finally won this big bet. They relied on internal and external troubles to successfully force Maodun into nothing but Fight to the death with the Qin army.

"It seems that my mission has finally been completed." Gongyang Ling put down the information and collapsed on the bed and said relaxedly.

"Yeah, the next step is to go home." Wei Zhuang looked at the child and Gong Yangling said.

Gongyang Ling's lifelong goal was to get rid of the Huns, and he relied on this belief to get to where he is today. Wei Zhuang was worried that this matter would suddenly be completed, and Gongyang Ling would no longer have worries in his heart.

"Don't worry, the Huns have been eliminated, but I haven't recognized my ancestors and returned to my clan. I still have to go to Gongyang's house to recognize my ancestors and return to my clan." Gongyang Ling said with a smile.

Wei Zhuang nodded.

Xianyang.

Li Mu's military reports of breaking the Xiongnu were sent back to Xianyang one after another. Every time the military reports arrived, the whole of Xianyang would boil. After the disaster situation in Dai County stabilized, Ying Zheng also began to gradually expand the input of materials to the grassland to help Li Mu provide sufficient food.

A large amount of grain was sent to the grassland, and Li Mu also sent countless cattle, sheep and horses back to Xianyang.

After Li Mu completely eradicated the old nobles of the Xiongnu, no one from the Xiongnu openly resisted Qin anymore. Under the leadership of Wei Zhuang and Gongyang Ling, the Xiongnu royal court surrendered, and all the Xiongnu royal family became Li Mu's prisoners.

After the war on the grassland ended, and after occupying the main strategic position, Li Mu led his army back to the court.
